The novella Aura.

My thesis statement for my paper is: The use of magic in this story serves for the purpose of seducing Felipe.

Does this statement sound ok?

If you are referring to Carlos Fuentes' work, you should say so.

Yes I am but I already stated his name in my introduction. Are you saying I should add his name in my thesis?

Your thesis statement seems clear and specific, stating that the use of magic in the novella "Aura" serves to seduce the character Felipe. However, to assess whether your statement is effective and well-supported, I would need more context and information about the novella and your analysis.

To strengthen your thesis, you could consider providing specific examples from the text that support your argument. Look for instances where magic is used in a seductive manner or how it affects Felipe's actions, thoughts, or emotions. Analyze how the author portrays magic and its impact on the relationship between the characters to further support your thesis statement.

Remember, a thesis statement acts as a road map for your paper, guiding your analysis and argument. Make sure your evidence and analysis align with the focus of your thesis to provide a cohesive and persuasive essay.
